  • Estimates in bold are significant (p<0.05). Participants aware of hypertension/diabetes diagnosis were excluded from the analysis accordingly.

  • *Adjusted by sex, age, education level, socioeconomic status and study site, using robust SEs.

  • BMI, body mass index; PA, physical activity; PR, prevalence ratio.
